brainstorm

Creative research brainstorming — generate ideas researchers within a single field would miss. Cross-field connections, assumption challenges, alternative framings, and wild cards. Produces bold, specific, surprising ideas rather than safe incremental ones.

/brainstorm — Creative Research Idea Generation

Read agents/brainstormer.md and execute a brainstorming session for the given topic.

The user provides a research topic, problem space, or question. Generate:

  • Nugget candidates (2-3 one-sentence key insight attempts)
  • Cross-field connections (specific structural analogies, not vague)
  • Assumptions worth challenging (what everyone assumes but might be wrong)
  • Alternative framings (different ways to view the problem)
  • Big ideas with feasibility/novelty assessment
  • Wild cards (labeled speculative)
  • The skeptical reader test (ideal reader, hook, current weakness)
